NAME

boost-utils.eclass - helper functions for packages using Boost C++ library  

DESCRIPTION

Helper functions to be used when building packages using the Boost C++ library collection.

Please note that this eclass does not set the dependencies for you. You need to do that yourself.

For cmake & autotools it is usually necessary to set BOOST_ROOT using boost-utils_export_root. However, other build system may require more hackery or even appending -I$(boost-utils_get_includedir) to CFLAGS and -L$(boost-utils_get_libdir) to LDFLAGS.  

FUNCTIONS

boost-utils_get_best_slot

Get newest installed slot of Boost. If BOOST_MAX_SLOT is set, the version returned will be at most in the specified slot.

boost-utils_get_includedir [slot]

Get the includedir for the given Boost slot. If no slot is given, defaults to the newest installed Boost slot (but not newer than BOOST_MAX_SLOT if that variable is set).

Outputs the sole path (without -I).

boost-utils_get_libdir [slot]

Get the libdir for the given Boost slot. If no slot is given, defaults to the newest installed Boost slot (but not newer than BOOST_MAX_SLOT if that variable is set).

Outputs the sole path (without -L).

boost-utils_export_root [slot]

Set the BOOST_ROOT variable to includedir for the given Boost slot. If no slot is given, defaults to the newest installed Boost slot(but not newer than BOOST_MAX_SLOT if that variable is set).

This variable satisfies both cmake and sys-devel/boost-m4 autoconf macros.

 

ECLASS VARIABLES

BOOST_MAX_SLOT

The maximal (newest) boost slot supported by the package. If unset, there is no limit (the newest installed version will be used).
